Management, Analytics, and Reporting
The SecureSphere MX Management Server is a centralized management platform for multiple SecureSphere gateways. It provides a single point for aggregating security policy, hierarchical security management, real-time monitoring, logging, auditing and compliance reporting. The SecureSphere MX Management Server can simultaneously manage SecureSphere Database, File and Web Security gateways from a single console.
Hardware Appliances
SecureSphere appliances provide superior performance, scalability, and resiliency for demanding network environments. Fail-open interfaces offer fast, cost-effective high availability. A high performance architecture allows organizations to support heavy traffic loads while consolidating device management. To maximize uptime, the SecureSphere X2500, X4500, and X6500 models feature redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, fans, and hard drives. SecureSphere hardware appliances provide the flexibility, reliability and performance needed to power the SecureSphere Database, File and Web security solutions.
Virtual Appliances
SecureSphere Virtual Appliances provide the complete SecureSphere product line in a flexible, easy to install software solution. Virtual Appliances allow organizations to leverage existing hardware for data center consolidation, maximize server utilization and cut power, cooling and support costs. Virtual Appliances offer adaptable, reliable and manageable security for organizations of all sizes.
Agents
For 360 degree visibility into user activity, SecureSphere extends its monitoring, auditing, and enforcement capabilities to host servers. The light weight SecureSphere agent can be used to audit database activity and protect sensitive data with minimal impact to the server performance. Agent communications to the SecureSphere appliance are buffered and encrypted to prevent data loss or compromise. SecureSphere agents can optionally block user activity and quarantine user accounts in the event of a security violation.
